still l say ..its sad,sad day, for all of us the day `WILKO `, leaves town.

The budget retailer Wilko has said it is on the brink of collapse, with more than 12,000 jobs at risk, as the high street struggles with rising costs and lacklustre consumer demand.

The household and garden products retailer, which has about 400 stores, said it had filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators at the high court on Thursday.

Still this,` rambling, Summer hating, missing someone fool` claims to be correct on this thread.
WILKO is closing , which l feel is sad day for all of us.
especially those not very good at DIY.
BUT ITS MORE THAN THAT.
Its death of something bigger the reason for closure , threat of closure , is preventable WILKO is leaving town , not just my town, lose of employment, another nail in bankrupt economy. Got personal experience of losing employment, firstly no one notices except YOU and those immediately affected.

You lose self worth, sense of being valuable, income, abilities to perform and contribute.

These are big words with weight attached, but you read this at speed.

Except if you been placed in the` trash bin of unemployment`.

Newspaper headlines fade, friends you knew disappear, walks around with no money become more frequent.

Support disappears, Authority figures become even `more hostile`. 

Sad, sad, sad day for all of us the day `North leaves town`.

Blues arrive, circus visits, money gets spent ,cupboards become much more bare.

Sad, sad day, for all of us the day North leaves town.

Planners arrive but Plans don`t involve likes of me and you.

Arriving soon near you, the day North leaves town.
